I searched a little further and found this is a documented bug:

https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/184/

The solution is documented there.  Sorry for the traffic.  But would still
love some pointers on my other Q:

On a separate note, what do I want to look at to use a larger font or more
columns/rows on my "virtual monitor"?  That was part of why I tried
Virtualbox after VMware Player, besides portability to machines I don't
have VMware licensed on.  The underlying physical hardware is MacOS.
